Abstract: In accordance with some aspects of the present disclosure, a non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed. In some embodiments, the non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to expose, to a client, an immutable object as a volume. In some embodiments, the non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to manage local access to a portion of the immutable object. In some embodiments, the client locally accesses the portion of the immutable object as a block of the volume.
